God knows we need to step away from the chaos of the world on a very regular basis and spend time with Him, because He is the One who refreshes and renews our souls.

What would it look like in your marriage if you intentionally chose time to rest? What blessings would come to your lives if you declared a specific time every day to rest in Him?

If we want the kind of rest that is lasting, the kind of peace that Jesus offers, we need to get the focus off of ourselves and spend our energy serving others.

What if we were to completely change our expectations, and no longer look to another person to fulfill our need, but simply as an opportunity for us to show God’s love?

Jesus invites us to come to Him to find rest from the weight of our burdens. He wants us know the supernatural peace we can find—in our marriages and in the chaotic world in which we live.

Sometimes God lets us feel the weight of the burdens we create to show us we are carrying things wrongly. Those burdens leave us overwhelmed and exhausted, but He invites us into His rest.

We are to go to Him when we are exhausted. He offers the kind of rest we can only know in His presence. It’s a beautiful, sweet kind of rest that is only found in His presence.

When the world gives us too much to carry, we need to know where to go for rest. When the burdens are too heavy, we need to know where to find peace.

The reality is that if God created us, we fall under His authority. He is the author and perfecter of our faith, and He is sovereign over every circumstance in our lives.

As believers, we cannot trust reason more than we trust God, we do not reject His truth when it doesn't make sense to us, and we accept that there will be mysteries that will never be solved in our lifetime.
